20 Most Popular Responsive jQuery Plugins

jQuery has been a blessing for the developers community on the internet. Before its initial release in the August of 2006, web designing was really a painful process. Everything ranging from a simple menu bar to complex content sliders needed to be coded from the scratch, thus, consumes a lot more time than now. Those who had undergone web making without jQuery know its impeccable worth. The best part of this Java script library is the acceptability of plugins. These plugins let the developers customize the script with advanced effects of animations, and other abstractions stored in some part of their minds.

Apart from being fast in setting up live on the website, the enhanced effects for representing the scripts in diversity have earned jQuery a good reputation. It is estimated that 65% of the most visited 10000 websites uses jQuery plugins. Since it has proven itself to come handy with the developers, a list of 20 most popular responsive jQuery plugins is featured below to assist you in opting the most appropriate ones for your website or blog.
